Come explore the most astounding aspects of life in space.
Do you have what it takes to survive in space? Find out in the exciting new special exhibition, Journey to Space, on view now at the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science in Downtown Miami.
Using interactive exhibits and authentic artifacts, Journey to Space immerses you in the extraordinary conditions of human space travel, including the very real dangers that astronauts face during their missions above Earth as well as the unique challenges and rewards of life on board the International Space Station (ISS).
As you navigate the exhibition, you’ll be put to the test as you learn about weightlessness, experience the sights, sounds and smells you might find aboard an orbiting space station and discover how astronauts eat, sleep, and even go to the bathroom in space! You’ll also get a look at all the ways in which the forbidding environment of space can kill the humans who explore it.
Guests will uncover firsthand the challenges of working in space—from operating a robotic arm to managing the limited power supply available to keep life support systems running to discovering why working in a space glove is so difficult.
Your adventure through Journey to Space leads up to a trip through a full-scale, climb-aboard mock-up of the Destiny Lab, the primary research facility for U.S. payloads on the ISS. With its rotating mechanism, the Destiny Lab will give you the sensation you’re floating as you get a virtual tour of the lab from astronauts who have worked there.
Journey to Space will be on view through Sunday, October 6, 2024, inside the Hsiao Family Special Exhibition Gallery on the first floor of the museum. Admission to Journey to Space is included with all museum admission tickets. Journey to Space is presented by the Science Museum of Minnesota and the California Science Center, with support from NASA.
